Description of the problem | While driving down the road i came to a stop when traffic ahead of me began to slow down. I was at a dead stop when a car came sliding past me in the gravel to the right of me. When we got to the stop sign the driver of that vehicle informed me that my brake lights were inoperative. I found this hard to believe considering i had just purchased the vehicle a month prior. About a week later i had a car honk at me and yell over to me that i had no brake lights when coming to a stop. When you start the car, you can walk around the back of the car and see that the brake lights are on, with nobody even in the car. I have followed my girlfriend while she was driving the car and they function the exact opposite way that they should, the brake lights are on the whole time you are driving and when coming to a stop the lights go out completely and do not return on until you begin accelerating again. I have had the brake pedal position sensor replaced, calibrated and it did cure the problem for a month or so, then the problem returned. Next i had the "fix" for the bcm connector performed, the dielectric grease did nothing. So now the problem remains, everyday people ride right on my bumper and i fear that an accident can come of this, and gm needs to find a fix for this and recall these vehicles asap. |
